Managing Editor
I've been interested in the cultural and business implications of social graphs since Facebook launched their app store. I've had the pleasure of working with Electronic Arts, Research in Motion, Epson Japan and Level Social, and from those experiences found my true passion: writing. I enjoy covering this emerging space and helping our writers find their own voices and interests as well.

Operating as a real-time conversation engine, the platform enables members to converse around topics which they are passionate about via an extremely intuitive user experience that has no peers.

The power of a social network, when done right, is out of this world. Professional social technology analysts will pore over statistics and demographics in years to come and make startling conclusions about our relationship to online social networks. As time has passed, I’ve found that LinkedIn is beginning to become an essential 2nd account for me, and one that I increasingly frequent just to see what’s going on in my professional world. I’ve made a list of 5 features you may not be using, but should be, on LinkedIn.

Social Games

The battle’s been raging for years to try and put together a ‘social network for gamers’.  The idea is that gamers everywhere need a place where they can hook up with one another, share their scores across all their platforms, challenge one another and find new games.  I’ve seen it tried in some form by [...]
